We had an hour to kill before going to the airport and it was too wet for a playground visit so we decided to stop off at the National Sports Museum at the MCG.

The MCG is Australia's largest and most famous sporting arena and I was glad to get a chance to tour it in so much depth.

Great experience to see behind the scenes at the MCG. Guided tours that take you into areas usually restricted from public access. Think it was $15 entry per adult, then you have to pay i think $20 each to go tot he national sports museum. We did not pay the extra for the museum, might do that next time. more

The history of the stadium i think is second to none...olympics... more

My Dad and I are avid footy fans and when he visited last I took him on a tour of the 'G'. It exceeded all my expectations, the guide, right down to his MCC stripped jacket was excellent. He was passionate and informative and great. Dad, being an farmer, and keenly interested in land prices, asked how much it was... more
